We've made a decision

in Parenting after a Loss

I am taking this year AND next year off. And we are going to start TTC in March or April!!

I don't really believe it. Part of me thinks I'm just plain crazy but another part of me is so excited to continue growing our family. I never in a million years thought I'd be ready this soon for another baby. But this seems to fit better into our life plans. Depending on how long it takes to conceive, I will hopefully have at least 6 months home with baby #2 before possibly going back to work. (we're not really using any birth control now so I suppose it could actually happen sooner)

And who knows if I'll go back or not. A lot can change with the economy and DH's job between now and then. But at least this way my job is still there waiting for me and I will be moving into a different phase of motherhood at that point. In the meantime I am pursuing the tutoring thing in my home and I am very excited about that as well. I really think DH and I can make this work!

I am very VERY excited about finally making up my mind and coming up with a plan that works for our family! I don't have to go back to work right now OR give up my job! :)

    I'm glad you decided on a plan that makes you happy :) It's hard to make those decisions and stress over then, so at least you can have peace of mind knowing you have a plan, and it sounds like a good one :)

    Congratulations!  That sounds really exciting.  I am starting to feel a little itch for baby #2 as well, but not ready to take the plunge yet.  I can't wait to see a BFP sometime this spring or summer!!!  (fingers crossed!) Yay!

    Congrats! So, your teaching job will be available for you in Sept. of 2010? That's great...our district does the same thing, you can take up to 2 years off. I am also feeling ready for TTC-ing #2, but am waiting to hear from my dr. on what's safe. I think your plan is great, and am so happy for you :)
